    8/3

    3.3 9AM TOURNEY ok so in this tourney we had 5500 players I busted out in 3000th place. I had about 7K after first brake I got KK new person to table limps in for 100 I make it 500 to go from mid position. he calls flop is 489 2 diamonds I have K of diamonds he bets 100 I make it 600 he calls pot is at 2400. turn is J no diamond he checks I bet 1100 leaving me 4K hes got 8K he calls. river is Q no diamond he checks I check. hes got 9Tclubs for straight on river 2 hands later same player. this is now his 5th hand at table and hes played all 5 of them for limp. I have KQ diamonds he limps I make it 600 to isolate. flop comes 864 2 diamonds he checks I bet 850 I have 2500 left he calls with 11K. turn is A he checks I shove pot was 3100 or so he calls. has Aqos and that?s the ball game folks I bust out. if I was trying to squeak into the money then I played the second hand bad but I wanted to get off to a big stack and he seemed like the perfect victim. as he had shown in the hands I played with him earlier he would of called with the 8 and maybe the 6 and probably a flush draw so I liked my chances just sucked that the donkey hit his card when he had an actual hand this time but given that my bankroll is not small at this juncture I wanted to take a shot since it?s the first tourney of the day and I have plenty of time to make up for it since im in two others with healthy stacks further updates when I bust or pop the bubble of one of them.

    11 9:15AM turbo TOURNEY SECOND BREAK 85 OUT OF 132 45 GUARANTEED so all my expenses are paid so far cram mode now

    ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS PLAY? I could of folded and waited for the next jump at 90 players for 3 more dollars but i felt as if at worst it was 60/40 and he might still fold weak A. Could possibly have KJ if i win this pot i should make top 15 where the moeny gets better and at some point i was gunna have to gamble in next 15 hands.

    5.5 10 AM TOURNEY 2140 out of 3482 1hr in busted out 3109 since im in the money of the 11 i took a shot on a draw on the flop and missed BUSTED
    2.2 10:40AM GOT 4.32 came in 688 out of 7200 after we broke the bubble there wasnt another pay out till 430th place or so so i waited for what looked like a good spot and shipped it and lost NEXT
    11 11AM 30K guarantee just started BUSTED OUT TABLE POPPED UP WHEN I WAS TRYING TO CLICK SOMETHING ELSE ACCIDENTALLY CALLED AN ALL IN FOR ALL MY CHIPS OH WELL THATS THE DANGER OF DOING OTHER THINGS lol.
    3.3 RE BUY 11:15AM ok so i had built my 1500 stack up to 7.5K then i had my AA cracked by someone AK on the last hand before break. so i reloaded and did double rebuy and add on so im in for 12.15 but with the rebuys and add ons im average chip position. OK TWO BAD BEATS IN A ROW AND IM OUT
    OK MIGHT BE TIME FOR A LIL BREAK PICK IT BACK UP IN 45 MINS ON THE 2.75 TOURNEY

    so far im up 10.5 for the day LOL yaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!

    8/02

    ok so today i played a 2 dollar tourney a 3 dollar re buy the 10 dollar 30K guarantee and the 10 dollar 250K guarantee

    2.2
    3.3
    11.0
    11.0

    i cashed for 95 in the 250K i was in good position coming into the money bubble with 4500 people i was 250 in chips but then i went extremly card dead tried to steal with Ajos and my continuation bet on the flop got raised then it was fold till we were down to 750 players i picked up 55 on button person in cutoff limped for 5K i raied to 20K having 78K sm blind shoved limper folded i called 15K and flopped set against his AKos that put me at 110K or so with 650 players and then it went back to fold fold fold........ then i got 88 in the cutoff blinds are at 3.5 and 7K i raised to 21K total leaving me 71K get called by the loosest player on table so im not too disapointed flop comes AA4 2 spades i feel as if im still good because hes shown hell call when he has money in the pot blind protector and very unlikly he has A figure he might call me with KQ KJ maybe KT trying to be a hero and for sure with flush draw and probablly not beleiving i have A either hell call with 22 33 55 66 77 so i fired one more bet of 26K he takes a few seconds but not that i wanna look weak milk so i figure good chacne im good and since 52K isnt much at this point i figure ill shove on next card unless i get weird feeling so turn is a 9 now we got AA49 2 spades and 2 clubs i figured 60&chance im ahead and because of who the player is i shoved thinking hes not gunna call the river if he does have a draw and he calls and shows A6 so nighty night for me and im not really dissapointed for once with this bust i dont think i really did anything wrong and the couple times i got unlucky wasnt too bad and i was able to come back i wish i spiked a 8 on the river there because that would of put me in spot to final table and get aggressive and since first was 25K i wanted a shot well see next week

    cash games so far i played 25 hands or so on 10/25 chasing a fish that i have on my pokerstars player list i got him for a quick double up and he left so then i went to 25/50 10 hands into it i wake up with AA UTG i open for 2 one caller then this other fish ive got on the list shoves i guess trying to pick up dead money it was 17 total to win 4.75 i smoth called other player folds AA vs 99 and it holds so there is a quick lil pick upso im up 50 for the day or so might call it a day and go for a swim in the pool its hot out here

    ok so i caved

    ok for the last three weeks i debated on doing this and now i decided to do it its gunna be a day to day update on how im doing and a lil back drop on the day how i felt about it and anything big good or bad that happens that day
    here is some of the stuff that happened prior to today
    PokerStars Tournament #176962535, No Limit Hold'emBuy-In: $2.50/$0.255499 playersTotal Prize Pool: $13747.50 Tournament started 2009/07/06 17:00:00 ET Dear 64 DEVILS, You finished the tournament in 4th place. A USD 673.63 award has been credited to your Real Money account.

    this was a great tourney it got me out of the 50 dollar deposit and away from playing 5/10 ring games. it sucks though because i was playing great till we got 4 handed and the table was given a 5 min break and after that break i proceded to go from 1st in chips to out i made one bad play and it caused me to melt down BIG LEARNING EXPERIENCE i hope.

    i took 300 out for a reward for myself LOL

    5 days later i stumbled across a super aggr DONK and fleeced (took) him for 500 playing HU PL omaha

    then i jumped up to 25/50cent NL and didnt took some beats and didnt get my feet wet as far as trying to find the regulars in order to avoid them thanx to pt3 so i had to drop down

    so i played some tourney made some small cashes made a lil profit at 10/25 and then wam
    PokerStars Tournament #181768205, No Limit Hold'emBuy-In: $5.00/$0.50 USD2996 playersTotal Prize Pool: $40835.00 USD Tournament started 2009/08/01 16:35:00 ET Dear 64 DEVILS, You finished the tournament in 6th place. A USD 1,388.40 award has been credited to your Real Money account.
    this tourney was a lil depressing because with 600 to go
    till 11 to go i was number 2 in chips and then i went card dead and took a hit when we were 7 handed from a short stack that spiked a 3 outer and that dropped me to 5th and ultimatly when 6 handed i had to shove with A9 and got called by KQ he hit Q
    gunna take out 1K for my trip to the bay im sure ill go play one night at GC gunna play in a re buy tourney today and the 1/4 million guarantee i think then im done for the day
